Good luck convincing every city in the US to rubber-stamp cutting up cement and closing roads, let alone all the private property owners that infra might have to go through. It’s some of the same reasons that we can’t build public transit.

Not very true here in California where most people take the indoor smoking ban pretty seriously, and recently in France it seemed like regular cigarettes still outnumber vapes 20:1 or more. I haven't been to Japan in a couple of years,

Or when Dyson screws their batteries in and makes them part of the handle on the older models, then offers batteries that sensibly slide in on newer models as an upgrade? Meanwhile, all my Milwaukee M18 batteries sit in a drawer in the gara

"disposable vapes" packs so much rage-worthy substance into so few characters. I really hope they ban the sale of these types of devices soon.

the worst are all the items these days that come with lithium batteries that aren't designed to be replaced. Sourcing high-quality replacements is a pain, getting the correct size requires taking the thing apart and measuring (and half

Is that not the same logical argument in favor of taxes though, eg property tax to fund schools? I still don't see software patents as a net positive for society, even if some companies are attempting to do some kind of societal good w

Not saying fail2ban is in any way state-of-the-art security or even best-practice at this point, but if they're burning an IP after a few bad attempts, that's going to be more effective than letting them try tens of thousands per

at that point, why not just do FIDO2 with a YubiKey or something? eg https://www.ajfriesen.com/yubikey-ssh-key/ as long as you don't lose the YubiKey or the backup YubiKeys you're good.

Jump hosts are a well-tested and widely-deployed pattern already that basically do the same thing without the downside of lockout problems from connecting from somewhere new.

Clinical research trials are a lot more useful as they get a lot more data points from far fewer patients. Not many people want to get blood drawn every week and keep a detailed daily journal about eating and exercise habits.

I wish more folks would get comfortable crushing tablets and weighing out their own dosage on scales. It’s not that hard to cut tabs in half or crush two and make 3 doses out of those, then put them back into caps. Empty gelatin caps are ch

I wonder how hard it would be to capture this with some kind of aero device in the wheel wells of vehicles. Given what F1 teams can do with aero, it doesn’t seem like a huge stretch to be able to suck up these particles at the source and pa

That’s a shame and a shame 18650 packs aren’t as viable anymore compared to custom sized lipos. 18650 sockets would be a dream for a laptop. It’d be like a kids toy, just pop out the batteries and swap in new cells when it’s dead. Better ye

Until they do stuff like CA Prop 13 so the folks who have been rich for a while continue to pay very little property taxes, while the burden rests with anyone trying to buy a home in the past 10-20 years.
